Compound Subjects and Objects with Pronouns


If we know that "Me like him" is incorrect, then that also means that "Katy and me like him" is incorrect. The word I belongs in the subject. The sentence should read "Katy and I like him." Similarly, the subject in "Katy and we like him" is correct.

Politeness says that the I, we, me or us comes last.

If the sentence had some kind of compound object the sentence would read: "Katy likes Joe and me," not "Katy likes Joe and I."

After all, we would say "Katy likes me," not "Katy likes I." Similarly the object in "Katy likes the Johnsons and us" is correct.


If it can be Googled it must be true, right?

EDIT: On that note here's another:
“The first person singular pronoun is “I” when it’s a subject and “me” when it’s an object,”
So I guess it's because you're talking about Max YOU become the object, not the subject, meaning 'me' is correct. WTF? But you're not talking about yourself in the 3rd person either so how could you be the object? You are still a subject. Anyone who took classes with me at school knows I was like to all my teachers in every class. Plus notice the link at the top has Grammar spelt wrong haha

Well if nothing else I'll just stick to Physics and building 500g bridges out of spaghetti that can support 14.25kg with a 300mm span. Glaven
